Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
If you can't take pleasure in the successes and achievements you make, they're not worth having!.

So I'd have to choose pleasure!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I dont understand what "pleasure" really is!.

If your "pleasure" is referring to satisfaction(of life), i will choose that over success and achievements!.

Although success and achievements can make you proud, does that mean you will be happy!?

Would you want to lead a successful life and be unhappy or lead "average" life with more pleasure -- happiness!?

Ultimately, happiness is something that matters, not your quality of life!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Frankly, I don't see the distinction between the two!. If I have success and achievement, I have the greatest pleasure!. I cannot have pleasure with success and achievement!. Perhaps you've defined success and achievement in a way that is mutually exclusive with having pleasure!?

I find the greatest pleasure in being a contribution to the lives of others!. That brings me psychic income, as well as financial rewards and recognition of my efforts!. Success indeed!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Success & achievement are pleasure!.

Pleasure for pleasures sake if pointless!.

I'd rather have a job and a girlfriend than Opium & a bottle of oil!. ;-)Www@QuestionHome@Com

You can self indulge yourself, but will you truly be happy!?

Can't joy be founds in success and achievements more fulfilling than in self pleasure!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Neither!. Both lead to unhappiness!. There are hundreds of purposes that one can choose to lead their life by!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

i think there needs to be a delicate balance between the two!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
